I'll only stop the clock during an argument if it becomes obvious to me that he's arguing to kill some time - often, just the step toward the clock ends the conversation when they are not there for legitimate reasons. Did this once on a substitution, where it appeared to me he was obviously stalling.
I'll stop it on injury only if we need external help (medical personnel, etc). I would conceivably stop it on injury if I thought they were milking clock, but this has never actually come up.
And of course... no one has mentioned rain, probably because it's obvious.
